Embark on an unforgettable trail running adventure at Hallucination, hosted by Palmetto Ultras at the picturesque Johns Island County Park in Johns Island, SC. Scheduled for November 20-22, 2026, this unique event offers a range of timed distances—34-hour, 24-hour, 12-hour, and 6-hour options—inviting runners to push their limits on a welcoming yet challenging course. The race unfolds on a beautiful, shaded 2.6-mile cross-country style loop, characterized by relatively smooth, un-paved trails with minimal elevation gain, making it ideal for both seasoned ultra-runners seeking new personal records and those looking to experience trail running without stringent cut-offs.

What truly sets Hallucination apart is its immersive, community-focused atmosphere. Runners will find themselves circling a "tent city" after each loop, where primitive camping with bathhouse access is included in registration, allowing participants to set up their personal aid stations and immerse themselves in the camaraderie of the event. The main aid station, conveniently located at the start/finish line, will keep you fueled with typical ultra snacks, drinks like water, electrolyte mixes, soda, and coffee, along with "real food" offerings throughout the day and night, including hot soup, noodles, and breakfast items for longer durations. Remember to bring your own cup or bottle as it's a cupless race.

With typical race day conditions boasting highs around 68°F and lows around 45°F, and only a 9% chance of precipitation, the late November weather in coastal South Carolina promises comfortable running. This "whole weekend experience" is designed to inspire miles, laughter, and encouragement, providing the perfect setting for either a memorable retreat or a serious pursuit of mileage goals, with buckles awarded to those who conquer 100 miles.
